Anyway here's a few updates with regards to the local mountain bike scene:

There's a Montana-wide site dedicated to growing and solidifying the greater Montana mountain bike community. It's completely non-profit and all information is user-generated. Check it out (and join, and contribute) at montanamountainbike.ning.com. You can also follow on Twitter: @MontanaMtnBike

This Monday head to Room 233, Strand Union Building at MSU at 6pm for a discussion about the future of land access in Montana. It's important. Very important. Learn about what's in store for us if we keep being chill and laid back. Better yet, speak up and make something happen. Here's the poster (.pdf).

There will be trail work this year, including some Sunday dates, so if you're a shop guy there shouldn't be much excuse to not go. Work this year will include everything from brush-clearing maintenance sessions to full-on trail building.

I'll keep this site up as long as there's still traffic. But I am going to focus a bit more on the MMBN site. Otherwise that's about it. Get out and ride, stay off soft trails nad say hi to hikers and horses.

Grassy mountain from Bracket Creek trail head is clear for a couple miles, maybe 3. When you get to the first overlook of the Crazy's looking east thats about it. After that the trail looks like it needs a few weeks yet. Soon though!

Rode Stone Creek today. It is in great shape until the last switchbacks before the top. Went about 4 miles up today and the trail is dry. Snow on the upper switchbacks.Sypes is riding good right now. Some wet spots but still in great shape. Sam Carlson rode the M to Sypes and said it was great.Leverich is dry for the climb. There is a work day there on sunday to buff out the climb. I don't know when the downhill will open up.Helena is riding so good right now. Spent the last two saturdays up there riding and drinking at the Blackfoot Brewery.I'm heading to Grassy tomorrow evening and if that is too wet I will cruise on over to South Cottonwood. I hope everyone is getting excited to ride cause it is getting good!!!!!

I heard the east climb up Leverich was so dry it was dusty, but the DH has snow drifts still. Lewis & Clark & Pipestone (homestake - Down) are both very dry as well. Anything else out there dry enough to ride responsibly? Katie and I rode the In-town World Cup (Main Street to Mountains) loops after house projects and Barbeques yesterday - they were as awsome as they could possibly be, but I would enjoy something a bit more stimulating toward the end of the week. Comment away...

What this is all about

Thanks for checking out the Bozeman Trail Report Blog. I'm trying this as a quick and easy way for anyone to check the conditions for mountain biking on the trails around Bozeman, Montana.How this works is simple: I'll have a few people who are passionate about riding post what trail they rode on and what the conditions were. Comments are open to anyone. My hope is that enough people will be able to try out enough trails to get a decent idea of the general trail conditions. If you're interested in contributing, drop me an email and I'll set you up.I'll also post notices about events that pertain to trails- trail maintenance dates, access issues, etc.Sound good?I thought so.
